When you make the decision that you want to sell your home, if you are like the average homeowner, the house which goes on the market is the same one you have to live in until the property gets sold.

As an expert in property management, you need to provide your renters with more services than simple maintenance and trash removal. To increase safety and to strengthen your reputation, you should develop a disaster response plan. Although a true emergency may rarely develop, having a plan in place can save lives when that tornado, fire, or hurricane develops.
Team
Experts recommend putting an emergency response team in place. This Citizen Emergency Response Team (CERT) can be comprised of any interested employee who is willing to undergo training that will help your renters before first responders can arrive.
